Saudi Arabia has executed five men in the Eastern Province on Saturday, according to the Saudi Press Agency. The five individuals, identified as Mohammed Al Zaher, Ali Al Sheikh, Hassan Al Faraj, Reda Al Abu Abdullah, and Ali Al Rabih, were found guilty of joining a foreign terrorist organisation, repeatedly attacking security personnel and vehicles, possessing weapons, and providing financial and other support for attacks inside the kingdom.
